About this play
Piling cushions and pillows into a wobbly landscape to climb over, crawl through, and clamber around turns the living room floor into a full gross-motor workout. Navigating the uneven terrain builds balance, planning, and the confidence to try a physical challenge and land safely.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Stack cushions and pillows into a simple path across the floor.
- Show your toddler how to climb over the first obstacle.
- Cheer them through each section, rebuilding the course as it collapses.
